Thank the Lord for indoor practices, new (almost ready) uniforms and a great shirt designer in our friend James Davis of The Chocolate Factory.
We had a very solid workout tonight, covered a lot of halfcourt man positioning, low/high post movement without the ball, positioning in the low post. Got a lot of shooting (3-point and free throws) done. Got a lot of halfcourt zone and man offense done. It's not always exciting, but the opportunity to go 5-on-5 is always, always awesome. I never take it for granted. We've had hundreds of practices in the past, outdoors in the blazing sun or rain or wind (or all three in the same workout) with smaller numbers.
Somehow the kids persevere and find success despite any disadvantages.
Tonight's practice lineup: Jared Elwin, Jimark de Jesus, Ryan Higashionna, Javan Montiho (back from his stomach flu), Felcris Corpuz (back from his cold), Kalai Kuia, Micah Tong, Jerry Killion and Micah Visoria.
I picked up the new gray jerseys after practice from James, whose shop is just a few blocks from Kalakaua Gym. He printed the team name in a new color combo (turquoise/orange). Tomorrow I'll take the jerseys back to Soccer Locker to get the numbers printed. I like how they're turning out. Thank you, James!
Next practice is Wednesday, 6:00 pm, Kalakaua outside courts. WE LUB THIS GAME!
